Machoke · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Machoke card
Numbered 87 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Machoke is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 100 HP.
It evolves from Machop, so Machoke is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
Machoke carries this Pokédex flavor text: "A sturdy creature boasting a robust physique and boundless stamina. Loves training above all else and voluntarily assists with tasks such as construction and clearing land."

What is Machoke worth?
Machoke is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Machoke before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Machoke grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Machoke
Raw copies of Machoke are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Machoke is the practical move.
